Rail

If a railway operator wants to access the Network Rail’s infrastructure, they have to apply to us for a track access agreement with Network Rail.

We monitor performance through analysis of regular reports from Network Rail.

A consolidated (or conformed) agreement is a document incorporating all approved amendments to the existing approved agreement. We do not approve these consolidated agreements, they are provided by Network Rail for reference purposes only to provide an overview of the current terms of the contract.

The register of interests of ORR Board and Executive team members is reviewed annually and updated each time an individual's interests change.

We plan our activities in the context of our long-term vision, based on our strategic objectives as an independent regulator.
